Was I the only one yelling at my screen, one two KIIIIIIIIIICK goddammit!

Francis would have benefited from following up his boxing with kicks. His game was just too damn limited.

Oh well, Stipe is a f'ing beast! Not impressed by his fighting style really, but he get's the job done!

 

[ArtOfDrowning]

If he was kicking Stipe would take him down even easier.

 

[SuperNerd]

Yeah, probably.

 

[Ass-hat]

I was more surprised with stipe not taking the back or using elbows when on the ground. He could have wrapped this up within 2 rounds but maybe he just wanted to stretch Francis to the limit

 

[CalvilloRay]

Yeah. Most of us were screaming that Stipe is the fucking man.

Not if he did it properly. He threw a head kick early on that Stipe had to block.

lol i was actually yelling for Stipe to throw a kick

 

[fluffball]

He probably would have KOd Stipe with a perfectly timed spinning side kick, but that wasn't part of the fight so why are we adding random things? The fight played out the way the fight COULD play out.

How many of those can he throw before burning his shallow cardio. There is a reason why he is not kicking a lot

 

[Sapp]

Francis just doesn't have good enough TDD. He stuffed Stipe's early TDs by just exploding full force, which he couldn't maintain.

No different to throwing punches, he would eventually tire regardless. A more varied approach would have benefited him, even in his boxing. He was mainly going for wild hooks.

Francis should go into the gym and practice nothing but wrestling and Kicking for
a year or so, then he would be a handful for Stipe. Don't get me wrong WAR STIPE

How is he going to time anything with a piss poor gas tank?

Knocks out five guys in a row. Gets one recent decision. Sherdorks: I don't like his fighting style.

And as far as I know he has no ability to throw a spinning side kick.

I don't know if Brett Rogers could either.

This.

I think Francis could be chopped down by kicks quite easily. Stipe was having success and I've mentioned before that Blaydes also had great success with them early on.

Crocop would have had a field day with Ngannou back in the day.
